Finds a place’s official Chinese name and shows it large. A hotel’s English name in China almost always differs from the sign on the building — so the address comes from the maps rather than being translated letter by letter.

The twelve phrases most often needed in a taxi — in characters, with a translation and pinyin. You can translate your own phrase too.

A short translation both ways. The result can be opened full screen and shown to the person opposite.

The same rate the catalogue is converted at. It calculates exactly, without the rounding up the catalogue applies to “from” prices.

PRC emergency numbers and the diplomatic mission whose district covers the chosen city. Every entry names its source and the date it was checked.

Clinics from PANDA’s vetted catalogue. Distance is measured from your location, or from the city centre without access to it.

Shows where a place is, how far it is as the crow flies and how to explain the way to a driver. We do not show journey time or changes — PANDA has no routing service, and deriving them from a straight line would be invention.

Pick what exactly is not working and we’ll show a step-by-step fix. If that doesn’t help, you can call a manager from the same screen.
